Testosterone within the normal range does not significantly contribute to male pattern baldness (MPB); DHT is the main factor that can be controlled. Genetics play a crucial role in hair loss, and treatments like finasteride and dutasteride, which block DHT, can help despite potentially raising testosterone levels.
community Control your blood pressure - for me this was my root issue
Managing blood pressure can help with hair loss, as seen with the use of medications like Cialis and oral minoxidil, which improved hairline and blood pressure. Lifestyle changes, such as reducing stimulant use and adjusting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) doses, also play a role in addressing hair loss and overall health.
community A tried and tested radical treatment for Hairloss in Men if you have enough self control.
The conversation suggests that abstaining from ejaculation for a few months may help stop or reverse hair loss by potentially increasing testosterone and reducing DHT levels. It also mentions the use of minoxidil and finasteride as effective treatments for maintaining hair after a hair transplant.
community M Thirties. Can gym gains cause hair loss?
A male in his thirties with a Norwood 2 hairline questions if gym gains and supplements like creatine cause hair loss.
